What you will do
As Test Chip Architect, you will be responsible for designing relevant demonstrators for technology pathfinding, with a strong focus on chiplet connectivity. This includes defining and strategizing the test chip for technology assessment, specifying relevant test structures, developing measurement and characterization strategies, planning tape-outs, and overseeing all necessary tape-out qualifications. You will collaborate with integration and device teams, testing teams, and the System/Design-Technology Co-Optimization (STCO/DTCO) teams to drive the success of the test chip project.
Your responsibilities will include:
1. Defining and specifying test chip demonstrators
2. Planning tape-outs and managing projects
3. Developing measurement and characterization strategies
4. Managing tape-out qualifications
5. Participating in the design of some demonstrator components and final GDS delivery
